Despite several rain breaks, Townville set about chasing down the total, which they reached in 24.5 overs.

Hughes continued his impressive form by making 56 not out, including five fours and three sixes, and he shared an unbroken fourth wicket stand with Conor Harvey, who hit three fours and four sixes, a couple of which cleared neighbouring houses on his way to 42 not out.

Wakefield Thornes are just a point further behind and travel to Townville this weekend.
